>Bob, Time to hire a lawyer I'm afraid Henson and Grady have shown
>that their expertise in civil & criminal law is rather bad.

I know *mine* is bad. Samuel D. Rosen, Helena K. Kobrin, Thomas R.
Hogan, Eric M. Lieberman, and their paralegals thinks it is
really, *really* bad as they keep complaining about it more than
just frequently. In fact our next hearing on how bad it is will be
on May 15, 2000 at 9 a.m. in the court of the Honorable Jeremy
Fogel, United States District Court, 280 South First Street,
San Jose, California 95113.

Keith Wyatt, maybe you can help me with my latest motion. Do
you see anything inaccurate about the following paragraph?
I don't.

"On March 21, 1996, Grady Ward was served suit in Arcata, California
alleging copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation.
(Ex. 4. at Bates 100177). After rounds of accelerated discovery
conducted by the plaintiff RTC, the litigation arm of the Church of
Scientology, including three separate depositions of Grady Ward,
subpoenas, depositions and demand for records from his previous
employer, his wife Felicity, seven different internet service
providers, police departments, phone company records, and even
seizure and lengthy search of his computer archives by a special
master, the trade secret allegation was dismissed with prejudice
(Ex. 4. at Bates 100178) and RTC's motion for summary judgment on
the issue of copyright infringement was denied. (Ex. 4. at Bates
100179)."

Keith Wyatt,

I have little doubt that the criminal cult can successfully frame
people as it almost succeeded in the case of Paulette Cooper
and in an almost identical circumstances to the Mark Bunker
allegations in Chicago, Keith Henson in Los Angeles.

"Perhaps the most outrageous example is the case of a journalist,
Paulette Cooper, who penned a critical book on Scientology in
1971. Cooper was subsequently indicted in 1973 of threatening to
bomb the Church, but eventually was exonerated in 1977 when the FBI
uncovered evidence that the Church forged the threatening letters
at issue. n49"

60 Minutes - Paulette Cooper

MW Mike Wallace
PC Paulette Cooper

"MW: For instance, in 1980 we interviewed Paulette Cooper. She had
written a book critical of Scientology, so to try to silence her,
the so-called Guardian's Office of the Church cooked up a scheme to
steal Cooper's stationary and make it appear that she had sent the
church two bomb threats, a crime she did not commit.

PC: And as a result I was arrested. I was indicted on three counts.
I faced up to 15 years in jail if I was convicted. The whole ordeal
fighting these charges took eight months. It cost me $19,000 in
legal fees. I went into such a depression, I couldn't eat, I
couldn't sleep, I couldn't write. I went down to 83 pounds. Finally
I took and passes a sodium pentathol, or truth serum, test and the
government dropped the charges against me in 1975.

MW: Another church plot against Cooper was called Operation Freak
Out. Intended to get her placed in a mental institution until she
stopped writing about Scientology. Church officials even launched a
graffiti campaign against Cooper.

PC: They put my name up on walls in New York City where I live,
with my phone number, so people would call me. They put my name on
pornographic mailing lists, so that I would get all kinds of
disgusting mail. You see, for years I was saying that these types
of things were going on and people thought 'Well, what is she
talking about, this is a church?' And finally, after eleven years I
see that everything I said was true and that Scientology turned out
to be worse than anything I ever said or even imagined."

From CoS v. Time-Warner, 903 F. Supp. 637 (1995):

"3. Journalists, Doctors, Lawyers, and Judges Framed, Beaten Up, or
Threatened with Death

In light of Behar's beliefs regarding his own experiences with
Scientology, the [*643] admitted harassment of Paulette Cooper by
Scientology's Guardian's Office (which has been disbanded), and the
other sources relied on by Behar, see Behar Aff. PP 85-93, the
Court finds no evidence that Behar made the statement regarding
journalists with actual malice. Similarly, there are not "obvious
reasons to doubt" Behar's sources for his statement regarding
doctors, lawyers, and judges. See St. Amant, 390 U.S. at 732.
Although Behar does not have convincing evidence to link CSI with
many of the strange incidents befalling these groups of people in
conflict with Scientology, that fact alone does not allow a
reasonable jury to conclude that Behar entertained doubts as to the
veracity of his statement that these incidents are linked to CSI.
Compare id. at 732 (good faith unlikely where story is fabricated
by defendant, based on his imagination, or based on [**13]
unverified anonymous telephone call). Therefore, the Court finds
that no reasonable jury could find by clear and convincing evidence
that Time published the above statement with actual malice."
